2014 TEAM PREVIEWS
The Seattle Seahawks are still flying high as defending Super
Bowl champs, but a new season means the other teams have
re-tooled (the Seahawks included) in an effort to hoist the Vince
Lombardi Trophy in 2015. We pored through every NFL team to
assess their chances of glory in our in-depth analysis.
FOR THE RECORD
Whether these 10 sacred NFL records get shattered or further
cement themselves deeper in the history books, we can all agree
that watching and speculating who could possibly approach
these storied marks is half the fun.
CONTINUED SUCCESS
The secret to winning in today’s NFL doesn’t involve a
quarterback who can pass for 5,000 yards, a running back who
can grind out 2K yards or even a stingy defense. While those
things certainly help, recent history has shown that the key to
Super Bowl glory is to field a roster that have spent time in the
trenches together.
OPTION TO WIN
It’s a regular occurrence in the
NFL: Quarterbacks fleeing the
line of scrimmage, ball tucked
in their arm and taking to
foot for yardage. While there
might be more plays being
called for the QB to take off
and an abundance of athletic
and fleet-of-foot signal callers
in the NFL, the option read is
giving coaches precisely that:
another option.
DEPTHS OF SUCCESS
Super Bowl XLVIII epitomized
what every successful NFL
team today needs. In a game
between a Denver Broncos
offense that featured a
seemingly endless supply of
receivers to haul in passes from
Peyton Manning against an
equally deep, up-to-the-task
secondary in Seattle’s “Legion
of Boom,” the battle for the
supremacy demonstrated that
winning knows no depths.
